Why "Tumultuous?"
Well, to be brief, it was the first word that came to mind. When I see this photo, I see the kind, gentle skies above, and within that tranquility the main subject of the photograph seems turbulent and unruly. I also love the way it hovers over and overwhelms the tiny (or so it seems) silhouetted homes below it. Oh how frail we are when juxtaposed with Nature!
